In a Christmas Day spectacle, Jalen Brunson showcased his scoring prowess, leading the New York Knicks (17-12) to a stunning 129-122 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks (22-8) and snapping the Bucks’ seven-game winning streak.
Facing a team that had previously dominated them, the Knicks delivered a standout performance to end their nine-game losing streak against the Bucks.
Brunson stole the show with a 38-point performance, complemented by strong contributions from Julius Randle (24 points, nine rebounds), RJ Barrett (21 points), and Immanuel Quickley off the bench (20 points).
Giannis Antetokounmpo and Damian Lillard led the Bucks with 32 points each, but it wasn’t enough to overcome the Knicks’ determined effort.
The Bucks, known for their offensive firepower, struggled to find their rhythm, falling behind by 16 points in the fourth quarter. A late surge narrowed the gap, but it wasn’t sufficient to derail the Knicks’ victory.
